So it’s not my day to host but I’m going through some captures now to help my pal Rob out. Hope you all are having a great day so far. Saw this guy today. Have no idea why he decided to land on this particular tree stump near me. 🤷‍♂️🤥 #BirdOfTheDay #StareDown
Close-up of a Eurasian jay standing on a dark mossy tree stump, facing the camera with an alert, direct gaze. Its warm brown body contrasts with the distinctive blue-and-black barred patch on its wing. Several peanuts and small seeds lie on the ground in front of its pale pink feet, while the background fades into a deep, blurred green.

@robcrank68.bsky.social hat für heute das Thema zum #BirdOfTheDay #StareDown
Vögel, die den Betrachtenden direkt ansehen.
Hier eine Haubenmeise.
Eine Haubenmeise auf einem schmalen Ast im Gebüsch, teils von Zweogen verdeckt, und dadurch unscharf, schaut direkt in Richtung Kamera.

Dry weed covered with snow and frost, always beautiful. Here's a delicate blue version straight from Mother Nature's palette 🤍

Somewhat of a closeup of a hydrangea plant covered in pink and lavender blossoms. Green leaves poke through in a few places.

A sort of game bird, it is not very large and has beautiful blue, white, and gray feathers with a long dark tail. Its eyes are fixed on us, but it seems quite friendly anyway. 🤗📷

A little late, but here’s my contribution to #BirdoftheDay. The theme is #staredown. Met this wild turkey a while ago, who was waiting right by my car, staring me down- clearly hoping for some treats! 🤷‍♀️

I am posting this for no other reason than to try to make @alan678.bsky.social jealous. Look who the Siskins + Chaffinches have pulled in to the garden today. (hoping for a brambling next 😜)
@bto-gbw.bsky.social @rspbengland.bsky.social
a redpoll sits on my garden feeder full of sunflower hearts + some seed mix. It is a rare sight in the garden indeed and has followed a flock of Siskins I had managed to attract. It is a greyish brown bird with splodges of red on its head and breast. It is dripping wet as believe it or not it is still raining

For @robcrank68.bsky.social's #BirdOfTheDay theme of #StareDown, birds looking right at you, I have a Little Owl (Athene noctua) on the Plains Torrecillas de la Tiesa, #Extremadura.

A small brown and white owl is sitting on top of an old lichen covered stone wall. It's facing to the left, but its head is turned to face the camera. The background is a diffuse green.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay I will post on time! (early even) The prompt is #StareDown, and a delightfully cute oak titmouse (lifer!) did just that as I snapped its picture.
An oak titmouse, a tiny grey bird with a tiny crest and beady black eyes, stares at the viewer. It is perched in a shrub, surrounded by branches and leaves.

My contribution to #BirdOfTheDay is this swan, captured at #RoyalParks. This is not Bruce. Bruce had a pristine beak. Still, the #StareDown was real and somewhat serious. Lol! Enjoy your day. 😊

This green heron facing toward the camera has a long rust chest with three cream colored vertical stripes from neck to lower chest and gray head with yellow eyes . Surrounded by green water lilies
